MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD eSports gaming monitor. Equipped with a 165hz Refresh rate, 1ms GTG response time panel, Optix MAG274QRF-QD will give you the competitive edge you need to take down your opponents. The WQHD (2560x1440) high resolution and the Quantum Dot technology will let you experience the mesmerizing images. The liquid crystal molecules of Rapid IPS display rotate as fast as the tornado. With the speed going up to 4x faster than normal liquid crystal molecules, the response time can be shortened to 1ms GTG (gray to gray) to eliminate monitor blur and provide crystal clear images.

RTINGS

The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD is the best 1440p co-op gaming monitor we've tested. It's an excellent gaming monitor with a fast refresh rate that delivers incredibly clear motion, with no distracting inverse ghosting and very little blur behind fast-moving objects. It's great for co-op gaming, with great ergonomics that make it easy to adjust your screen so everyone can see it. It also has wide viewing angles, so even if you can't position it perfectly for everyone, your friends will still see an accurate image.

It has some great gaming features. It's certified to work with both AMD's FreeSync variable refresh rate technology and, combined with NVIDIA's G-SYNC Compatible mode, ensures a nearly tear-free gaming experience from any source that supports VRR. It has a great selection of inputs, so you can easily connect all of your sources at once, but it doesn't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, so it can't take full advantage of the PS5 or Xbox Series X consoles.

Unfortunately, it's not a good choice for a dark room, as it has a low contrast ratio, so blacks look gray. Other than that, it's an incredibly well-rounded monitor that delivers a great experience no matter how you plan on using it.

The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD is the best 1440p monitor for multimedia that we've tested. The large, high-resolution screen delivers sharp images and an immersive movie-watching experience, but with a 1440p resolution, you won't get the same sharpness as on a 4k screen. It has wide viewing angles and great ergonomics, so you can easily share your screen with a friend.

This monitor has an impressively wide color gamut, with complete coverage of the sRGB and Adobe RGB color spaces, which is great if enjoy rich, vibrant colors. It supports HDR, and it can display an amazing color gamut in HDR thanks to its quantum dot technology, but unfortunately, HDR content doesn't look as good as it should, as it can't get bright enough for small, bright highlights to pop. It also has great visibility in a bright room, with impressive peak brightness in SDR and decent reflection handling, ensuring it can easily overcome glare.

Sadly, it doesn't look as good in a dark room, as it has a low contrast ratio, just alright black uniformity, and there's no local dimming feature to improve the picture quality in dark scenes. Thankfully, these issues aren't noticeable unless you're in a completely dark room. Overall, it's a great monitor that should please most people, regardless of how you choose to use it, and it's the best monitor for watching movies with a 1440p resolution.

If you plan on getting a monitor for co-op gaming, then the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD is the best 1440p FreeSync monitor for your needs. It's an excellent gaming monitor that has a lower refresh rate than the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T, but with a max refresh rate of 165Hz over a DisplayPort connection it still delivers a responsive gaming experience.

The MAG274QRF-QD is a good choice for co-op gaming because it has wide viewing angles so the image remains accurate whether you're sitting right in front or if you're sharing the screen with a friend off to the side. It also has excellent ergonomics so you can place the screen in an ideal viewing position as you can rotate it, tilt it, and adjust the height as you wish. In terms of its gaming performance, it has low input lag for a responsive feel and motion looks smooth at any refresh rate thanks to its quick response time. While it has native FreeSync support, it's also certified by NVIDIA to be G-SYNC compatible.

Unfortunately, while its sRGB picture mode has decent out-of-the-box accuracy, it locks most picture settings, and if you want to change picture modes, the colors are over-saturated. If you care about color accuracy, then it's best to get the monitor calibrated for the best experience possible. Besides that, it's the best 1440p FreeSync monitor if you need something for co-op gaming.

The best 1440p monitor for co-op gaming on the PS4 is the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. If you don't like the curved screen or narrow viewing angles on the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T, this is an excellent choice as it has a flat screen and wide viewing angles. It also has excellent ergonomics, making it easy to place in an ideal viewing position.

It won't have any issues with 1080p signals from the PS4, and it downscales 4k @ 60Hz signals to 1440p, meaning you can use it with the PS4 Pro too. The response time at 60Hz is great as there's minimal motion blur, and it also has a backlight strobing feature to reduce persistence blur, but it causes image duplication with 60 fps content. The input lag is also really low at 60Hz, so gaming feels responsive. Text and images look sharp thanks to the 1440p resolution as it has good text clarity.

Unfortunately, it's not the best monitor in terms of color accuracy. It has an sRGB mode with decent out-of-the-box accuracy, but it locks most picture settings. If you want to use another picture mode, most modes have over-saturated colors that can become distracting. Regardless, it's still the best monitor for co-op gaming on the PS4.

The MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD offers the best value for MacBook Pro users, especially for content creators. It has an incredibly wide color gamut for content creators, but unlike the Apple Studio Display, it has just decent accuracy out of the box. It has great visibility in brighter rooms, with impressive peak brightness in SDR and decent reflection handling. The 27 inch, 1440p screen is okay for multitasking, and it results in good overall text clarity.

It's fully compatible with recent MacBook Pros, and everything from HDR to its variable refresh rate feature works perfectly. There are no issues with sleep, either, and windows go back to their original position when your computer wakes up. It has good viewing angles, so you can easily share your screen with someone else.

Unfortunately, although it supports USB-C, so you won't need any adapters, it has very limited power delivery, meaning you'll need to keep your MacBook plugged into a wall adapter to keep it charged. Other than that, it's an impressive monitor overall.

If you need a monitor that supports HDR, check out the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. It has a similar form factor as the ASUS ProArt Display PA278CV, with a 27 inch, 1440p screen, but it has worse viewing angles and a slightly worse stand, so it's not quite as versatile. It has an impressive SDR color gamut, with perfect coverage of the sRGB and the Adobe RGB color spaces, so it's a great choice for content creators, but colors appear over-saturated at times. It also supports HDR and can display an incredibly wide color gamut in the DCI P3 color space. It also has a USB-C input so you can connect your Mac Mini and display an image.

If you only use the monitor for text processing or browsing the web, go with the ASUS because it has better ergonomics, better viewing angles, and a USB-C port. If you need a wide color gamut or HDR support, go with the MSI.

The best 1440p monitor we've tested for co-op gaming is the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. It's an excellent gaming monitor with a fast refresh rate and an incredibly fast response time at the max refresh rate, resulting in crystal-clear motion with little blur. It has wide viewing angles and excellent ergonomics, making it a great choice for co-op gaming, as the image doesn't degrade when viewed at an angle, and you can easily adjust it to an ideal viewing position for everyone.

It's also a great choice for console gamers. It has a built-in console mode that lets it display a downscaled 4k @ 60Hz signal from both the PS5 and Xbox Series X. This mode offers slightly worse performance, with a slightly slower response time, but it's great for graphically-intense games. It also has a few extra gaming features, including an optional backlight strobing feature to improve the appearance of motion.

Unfortunately, it's not a great choice for gaming in a dark room, as it has a low contrast ratio, so blacks are gray and cloudy. As long as you're in a dark room, it's a great monitor.

The best 1440p monitor for programming is the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. Although it's mainly a gaming monitor, it's also great for office use as it has a few extra features. It has wide viewing angles and great ergonomics, so you can easily adjust it to the ideal viewing position or share your screen with someone else, and everyone will see an accurate image.

It has a completely flicker-free backlight and a blue light reduction feature, which help reduce eye strain with longer coding sessions. It has a few features that can help improve your productivity, including a built-in USB hub and a USB-C port, great if you're working on a laptop with limited connectivity. It has good text clarity, which is essential when staring at long lines of code, but it's not as sharp as on a 4k display.

Unfortunately, it has a low contrast ratio and just alright black uniformity, so it's not the best choice for a dark room or if you like to use dark mode. There are also some issues with color accuracy on our unit before calibration, but this isn't an issue for coding. Overall, if you're a programmer and want a 1440p resolution, you should be happy with this one.

The best USB-C monitor with a 1440p resolution we've tested is the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. It's a great office monitor with wide viewing angles and great ergonomics, so it's easy to place in an ideal viewing position, and you can easily share your screen with someone else. It has a single USB-C port, so you can easily connect it to your MacBook Pro or ultrabook, but sadly, you can't use it as a USB hub, and its power delivery is limited to 15W, so it can't fully charge your device.

The 27 inch, 1440p screen delivers good overall text clarity, and it has great screen real estate for multitasking. It also has many extra features, most of which are designed for gaming, though, so it's a great monitor if you need a distraction from work. It has great peak brightness in SDR and decent reflection handling with a matte finish, meaning glare won't be an issue in most viewing environments.

Unfortunately, it has mediocre accuracy out of the box, as colors are over-saturated, so you might need to consider calibrating it. It's also great if your work requires accurate colors, as it has an exceptional color gamut and fantastic gradient handling. Overall, it's a well-rounded monitor that performs well at almost anything, and it's an impressive choice for office use.

The best Xbox Series S monitor for co-op gaming we've tested is the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. It has the same 1440p resolution as the Samsung Odyssey G7 LC32G75T, which makes it a good choice for the Series S, and you won't have any issues playing 1440p games up to 120 fps from the console on it.

It's better for co-op gaming because it has wider viewing angles, so the image remains accurate when viewing from the sides. It also has excellent ergonomics, so you can easily place the screen in an ideal viewing position and adjust it to your liking, whether you're co-op gaming or playing on your own. It has a lower max refresh rate than the Samsung, but it's still high at 165Hz, and motion looks smooth both at 120Hz and at 60Hz. Also, it has FreeSync VRR support to reduce screen tearing while gaming.

Sadly, it has over-saturated colors unless you're using the sRGB mode, and if you do, it locks most picture settings, so it's not the best monitor if you want to customize the picture settings to get the best image possible. Also, it has a low contrast ratio that makes blacks look gray in the dark. Besides that, it's the best 1440p monitor for co-op gaming on the Xbox Series S.

Micro-Star International, otherwise known as MSI, makes computer parts and accessories with a focus on gaming. Like other brands, they're headquartered in Taiwan, and they started in 1986 by producing motherboards and entered the gaming industry in the late 2000s, so they haven't been involved in the industry as long as some other companies. Still, they offer great gaming monitors that are often at a low cost. While their lineup isn't as versatile and expansive as other brands, they focus on gaming and create good monitors for it. They have a few gaming monitor lineups, like the MEG Series, MAG ARTYMIS Series, Optix MAG Series, G Series, and the Oculux NXG Series. They have many 144Hz and 165Hz monitors, and they even have a 360Hz monitor if you want something with a higher refresh rate.

Sadly, most MSI monitors aren't ideal for office use as they're meant for gaming. They have a lot of 1080p monitors, meaning the text clarity isn't the best on those, and images aren't sharp. Their models also tend to have VA panels with limited ergonomics, so they're not good choices if you need to adjust the screen for someone sitting next to you as the image looks washed out. Still, there are a few versatile options like the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD that uses a quantum dot layer to produce a wide range of colors, and it's also an impressive gaming monitor as games look life-like.

tom's Hardware

If you like your games to look extra colorful, the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD is the best gaming monitor for your rig. This monitor posted the widest color gamut we&rsquo;ve ever recorded: 112.19% of DCI-P3 after our recommended calibration. 90% of DCI-P3 would be impressive, so this is one color-saturated screen. 
Contrast is also strong for an IPS panel, hitting 1,129.1:1 after our calibration. And for those concerned about speed, this 165 Hz screen kept up with the 170 Hz Gigabyte M27Q in our testing 
Color purists, however, will lament the lack of an sRGB mode, considering the MAG274QRF-QD&rsquo;s sRGB coverage is at 166.33%. Its backlight strobe for fighting motion blur is also a disappointment. You can&rsquo;t use Adaptive-Sync with it, the brightness goes down by about 50% and it created ghosting that resulted in a parallax effect with fast motion. In addition, this is yet another gaming monitor to offer HDR but without any noticeable image boost over SDR.
But if you can get past those caveats, you&rsquo;ll enjoy the most colorful monitor to ever hit our lab.

 This monitor's color accuracy produces an average delta e of 4.6 and with the lack of color modes for srgb, adobe, rgb or p3, there's no way to clamp the color gamut, so things will be saturated and also inaccurate. If you are a professional you'll want to get this monitor calibrated because calibrating it yields basically perfect results. If you're, just a general user who just wants to play, games, consume media or do some basic color work, then you should be happy with the out of the box performance

 Yes, other manufacturers have a similar feature and software, but they either don't carry over all of the functionality from the built-in osd or don't allow you to assign profiles to an app in the foreground. This does it all. Lastly, is the build and design? Fortunately, it's not as ugly as many other msi monitors like their esports focused lineup. It'S still not beautiful, like an alienware, but it's not bad

The New 165Hz 1440p KING - MSI MAG274QRF-QD

 In order to run the monitor at 1440p, 165Hz you’ll need to use. Displayport HDMI is limited to 144Hz, as this is just a limitation of the HDMI 2.0b spec.

 It’S got a 27 inch 16 by 9 IPS panel with a 1440p resolution and an anti-glare matte finish. It’s flat too so no curve. Here. It’s got a 165Hz refresh rate and MSI are claiming a 1ms GTG response, time

84ms, though some transitions were slower than the 6.06ms required for all to occur within the refresh window. I’ve Got a link in the description if you need an explanation on what all of these numbers mean. Things are a bit better now in fast mode, the average grey-to-grey response time is now lower at 4

 Here. It’s got a 165Hz refresh rate and MSI are claiming a 1ms GTG response, time. Combined with adaptive sync meaning you can use either FreeSync with a Radeon graphics card or G-Sync with Nvidia it’s got some nice sounding features for gaming that I’ll put to the test.

MSI MAG274QRF-QD Gaming Monitor Review

 The last time we took a standalone look at the 1440p market was in july of 2021 and it's fair to say a few. Things have changed since then in terms of monitor releases and pricing. So this video will serve as an update with fresh information recommendations for the early parts of 2022. As with our previous best of videos, we tend to talk about and recommend, monitors, we've personally tested and know to be good or monitors that are very similar to products

 I just don't think va or tn options in this tier are worth considering, given how good the ips monitors of today are at delivering a balanced experience of the 1440p medium refresh monitors, we've tested using our latest methodology, all 25 of them, the mag274 qrf-qd has among The best response, behavior we've seen across the entire refresh rate range average performance, is fast around 6 milliseconds, but crucially, overshoot is kept to a minimum as well. This gives us enough speed to manage the 165hz refresh rate without introducing artifacts when gaming at lower refresh rates. Like at 60 hertz, one thing we always look for is this sort of single overdrive mode experience? It means you can choose one overdrive, setting and use it for all gaming conditions. So the difference in performance between each model are going to be small

Best 1440p Gaming Monitors, Plus Great Value Picks [Early 2022]

Get a 1440p 144hz monitor only once you upgrade, you won’t get good FPS in 1440p let alone 4K. Make sure you grab at least a 3060 ti for 1440p. I wouldn’t get the Lg27GL850, the nano IPS is outdated. Get instead the 27GP850 which is releasing soon and has better response times or get the M27Q from gigabyte or the MSI MAG274QRF QD

 I wouldn’t get the Lg27GL850, the nano IPS is outdated. Get instead the 27GP850 which is releasing soon and has better response times or get the M27Q from gigabyte or the MSI MAG274QRF QD.

 I am looking at these two monitors from LG, and I can't decide whether I want a 4k 60hz or 1440p 144hz (both 27").

Higher Refresh Rate, 1440p: [https://www.amazon.ca/LG-27GL850-B-Ultragear-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07YGZL8XF?th=1](https://www.amazon.ca/LG-27GL850-B-Ultragear-Compatible-Monitor/dp/B07YGZL8XF?th=1)

I am wondering which one I would benefit the most from under these parameters:

\- My computer isn't all too powerful, I got it about 3yrs ago and it has a GTX 1050 2GB and an 8th Gen Core i5 8400. However, I will probably get a new one in the next few years.

\- I sit about 25" away from my monitor which is currently a 1080p 24"

\- I like video editing, and I'm wondering if a 4k monitor could help with that in the future.

\- I also like gaming, but I don't think I will be able to get a lot of use out of a high refresh rate monitor because of my computer. Granted, I wouldn't be able to run in 4k either but at least I could play 1080p with it being scaled improperly.

Considering all of this, which one should I get?

- I also like gaming, but I don&#39;t think I will be able to get a lot of use out of a high refresh rate monitor because of my computer. Granted, I wouldn&#39;t be able to run in 4k either but at least I could play 1080p with it being scaled improperly.

Considering all of this, which one should I get?

Can't choose between a high refresh rate with lower quality or low refresh rate and high quality

I first wanted the LG 27GL850-B, then I heard that the Dell S2721DGF was just slightly better, for the same price (both at $400 currently). Then, a third option I was made aware of, which is the MSI Optix MAG274QRF-QD. This seems to have much better contrast ratio than the other options, so I think it's worth the extra $40.

 So definitely in the high end range for these specs and a competitor to the lg and dell monitors. I mentioned there's also going to be a model without the dash qd, in other words, without the quantum dot element to this display at a lower price, but i'm not 100 sure how the panels differ otherwise or what panel it's using. So today's review is of the dash qd model anyway, which is the first to hit retail shelves, and i think it'll be coming later this month. In most places, the design msi using here is pretty standard for them, so it won't blow you away with stunning aesthetics, but it gets the job done

 It has a 165 hertz refresh rate wide dci, p3 color gamut, rated 1 millisecond response times, and it's got all the usual adaptive sync functionality, including being nvidia gsync compatible. However, the big news here is that msi aren't using lg's nano ips panel. Instead, this display is using a brand new panel from au optronics, which msi are branding as rapid ips, although i couldn't find any definitive branding for it in any case, msi promising one millisecond greater gray response times here with an ips display without using the lg panel That has become the mainstay of performance ips gaming monitors, so, in addition to looking at this, msi monitor as a whole we're going to be getting a good look at how au optronics is going in the ips market. I'Ll also just drop the price here right at the start, which is 550 us dollars or 860 australians

In most places, the design msi using here is pretty standard for them, so it won't blow you away with stunning aesthetics, but it gets the job done. Basic matte black plastic for the most part, with a few flourishes on the rear, different textures and, of course, some rgb lighting. Thankfully msi seem to have dropped the front rgb leds from their new high-end displays, but there is still a bit on the back

MSI MAG274QRF-QD Review, Setting New Performance Records at 1440p 165Hz

 We'Re going to kick this off in chronological order through the reviews throughout this year with the alienware aw 2721d. You know sort of can be good, but i think our monitor that i'd probably have to re-rank here and put a little bit lower sort of this va monitor that we've got here in the seat here you know on reflection, i really don't think i would recommend This for a lot of people, i think spending a little bit more and buying an ips, monitor or dropping down in size, even going from 32 inch to 27 inch at the same sort of price is a better way to go. So for me, i probably would have to end up dropping the cq32 g3se into the dtr, which means that the pixel monitor that i reviewed that i found to be pretty similar, but worse than this aoc monitor, would then have to go into the etfs. That'S probably one of the re-rankings that i would consider doing, and then we can just sort of shuffle this in there to break off that gap and keep it nice

The XG2705-2K is a great gaming monitor for the price, offering FreeSync support and a higher refresh rate to make games look smoother and feel more responsive. But if you don’t play games, its mediocre color accuracy and lack of a USB hub are reasons not to buy it.

 Now its Osd buttons are certainly finicky, but the rest of the overall build quality and the stand of the monitor is certainly impressive here. You've got a three side borderless design, and while the bottom bezel could be a little bit more premium lifting, I have no certain inherent issues here. The 27 inch form factor doesn't take up too much space on terms of my setup. Now, you have also got a fully adjustable stand whereby you've got height, tilt, pivot, and rotation available to you

 Now here, the standard mode doesn't give you that much of a good response time, while the advanced mode has a good blend between the overall response time of the monitor and the amount of inverse ghosting that you're going to occur. Now, in the Super Fast mode, you will notice significant amount of overshoot. Now, this is perfectly playable, at least in my opinion when you're playing a potato game such as Cs Go. If, however, you're playing anything graphically intense such as let's say, even valorent or even let's say, Halo Infinite, or Destiny 2

 Description below, including my full detailed reviews and indeed here. If you want superior contrast ratio, you should be looking for a Va panel or if you want the same sort of response time and input lag as this viewsonic monitor, but don't want to incur the same sound of inverse ghosting in its highest overdrive mode, there's some fantastic Ips panels that you should consider, and furthermore, they have better Srgb emulation modes for those people who will be doing some image editing or video grading. Now, if you've enjoyed this detailed independent review, I'll definitely appreciate you dropping a like subscribing and hitting that bell notification if you haven't already and as such I've been totally dubbed. and hopefully see you next one

 Well, quite frankly, I think there's some better alternatives from Benq, Aoc, and Acer. They'll be down. Description below, including my full detailed reviews and indeed here.

ViewSonic XG2705-2K review: Affordable 1440p 144Hz gaming monitor!

If you are really concerned about response times, the MSI MAG274QRF-QD is up there, review for that monitor available here: [[URL REMOVED] for the ViewSonic XG2705-2K, I'm really interested in this monitor as well. It uses the same panel as the VX2705-2PK-MHD, which is a successor to the popular VX2758-2PK-MHD. My concern is that the older model has a lot of reports of flickering at 144 Hz (which can be fixed by lowering the refresh rate to say, 142 Hz). There are no reviews for these updated models so it's hard to know if the issue is still there

Input lag and response times on IPS monitors are excellent nowadays, coming pretty close to TN performance. Since you are going up to 144 Hz it should in fact feel a lot faster, and ghosting shouldn't be an issue for high-end IPS monitors, but more budget options seem to do a decent job as well.

I  currently have a Dell SX2210 21.5" monitor @ 1080p 60Hz and have always  been very happy with it for gaming (FPS, MOBA).  Now ready to upgrade  and my current favourite (and I'm limited on budget) is the ViewSonic  XG2705-2K 27" @ 1440p 144Hz with FreeSync for AU$499 from Scorptec.

The  main thing I'm concerned about is that in going from TN panel to an IPS  panel, I'll start to notice input lag and/or response time issues  (ghosting, etc.).  Can anyone confirm if this is likely or not?
